How Can Drug Crime Lawyers Help In Marijuana Possession Cases?

Have you or someone you know has been arrested for distribution or possession of marijuana? If so, you will need to hire a drug crime lawyer as soon as possible. You can battle the charge yourself, but in many respects, an experienced lawyer alongside you will be of immense value to you.

Many states tend to be on the road to legalize marijuana possession. But many other states are still intent on waging war against drugs and the crimes which so often accompany them.

 A drug crime attorney will be familiar with how the court system operates and state laws. Many of these laws are confusing to the layperson.

 He can work to have your charges dismissed or a decreased penalty. He will be able to make a plea bargain if you plead guilty, which can result in a reduced sentence. 

 You may not know this, but the charges do have dire consequences. Here are a few: 

  • A criminal record will follow you for the rest of your life.
  • You may not be able to get a job or at least just work menial jobs with little pay. 
  • Your family will be affected forever.
  • A possible prison sentence.
  • If you ever get arrested again, you will be considered a "repeat offender," and the penalties will increase.

 The positive news is that there are programs in which you can enroll even if you get convicted, to help you get back on your feet and head in the right direction.

A drug crime lawyer should be familiar with all of these services and can help you pick the most appropriate for your needs. Once you have completed such a program, you may even be able to have your criminal record fully cleared! 

The best time to hire a lawyer is; immediately after you've been arrested. Time, as the old saying goes, is of the essence. 

Did you know you have Constitutional rights? You do.
